Thursday Tidbits "Brown Paper Packages"

Happy Thursday everyone! I am so excited to start Thursday tidbits to help my customers get some some cute and fun ideas on how to give Scentsy products as gifts and to spread the word about Scentsy products and how amazing they are. I hope you enjoy these weekly ideas as much as I have been getting them together for you.

Our very first tidbit is going to be an idea for a birthday present. I originally found the idea on Eighteen25, one of my favorite blogs, and thought what a cute gift idea!

 I'm always trying to think of cute ways to give gifts and new ways to give friends my favorite Scentsy products. So off I went to around my house gathering supplies to make one of these for a friend’s birthday that was this week. 

First I measured my lunch sack and cut 2 pieces of scrapbook paper to 3 ½ inches wide and 10 ¾ inches long (fills the whole length of the bag on both sides). 

Then I glued the paper to both sides of the sack.  

     Then I went here to print off my birthday saying. I used brown paper to fit with the theme of the saying. I cut out the saying leaving about 1/8 of an inch around all the sides.

Next I took my bakers twine (you can buy this on etsy, amazon, and any local scrapbook store and there are so many fun and cute colors!) and left 3 ½ inches and then wrapped the twine around my paper several times (about 5) and then left another 3 ½ inches or so to tie a bow.

1   Glue the saying onto the front of the bag closer to the crease so that you have room to close the top of the bag. (It may be a good idea to open the bag up before you glue so you can see where you want the saying to be placed).

1   Now this is the fun part! Gather your favorite Scentsy products to fill in the bag. My friend is already a Scentsy customer so I picked my favorite scents from this season. I gave her a car candle,   some hand sanitizer, a bar and I added some snickers because you can’t skip chocolate! 

Truly the possibilities are ENDLESS! This little project took me 5-10 minutes and I had all the supplies at home so it didn’t cost me any extra. You can dress it up and add things to it or keep it simple either way what a fun and cute way to spread some birthday cheer while sharing something that you love!

     I delivered this little beauty to my friend and she was so excited to have some new products to use and her first comment was, “I LOVE the packaging”. I hope you found some inspiration today and understand that it’s the thought behind the gift that means the most. 

I challenge you to look at your calendar for the next month and find 1-2 people that you can spread some birthday cheer to; I guarantee that they will LOVE it!
